Please note that these are by no means all the products we offer in our range. This is purely informational, to show what the products look like so you have an idea of that. Then we will now move on to explain how to play the game.

How do you put together a One Piece Deck?

To play the game, you need three things:

1) A deck of 50 cards (these consist of three different types of cards namely: Charater cards, Stage cards and Event cards)
2) A don (You have 10 don cards per deck)
3) A leader card (Namely, determines what color cards you may have in your deck and how many lives you have)

What are One Piece Event cards?

These cards show you excerpts from the Anime series. They have special effects that you may use only once when you deploy the card.

What are One Piece Charater cards?

These are the cards with the characters on them from the Anime series. This allows you to attack and defend. Each character can have its own effect; these are reflected on the cards themselves. (See image below for examples).

What are One Piece Stage cards?

These are cards that you place on the field when you bet them. But the rule is that you can always have only one stage card on the field. So should you want to put in a new one? Then you have to remove the old one. You can kind of compare it to trap cards/trainers in other TCG.

See above examples of what the Character cards look like.

So how do you play the card game of One Piece?

Above is a handy tutorial that explains exactly how to play the card game. Should you still prefer it on paper? Then below we briefly write down the most important aspects from the tutorial video:

You must ensure that you defeat your opponent’s leader first (bring his life points to 0). For this you use the stage, event and character cards. There is a whole strategy involved, you can kind of compare it to other TCG games like pokemon cards.

When it’s your turn you get two don cards. You can use this to pay the cost of other cards (the cost is shown in the upper left corner of the card). You can also give them to your characters so you can make them even stronger or activate certain effects. So as the turns progress, you get more and more don cards in your hands. This allows you to end up doing a whole bunch of extra, of course it is still a very fun game and you have to be tactical. Therefore, it is most convenient if you grab the tutorial when you are playing for the first time. Once you get the hang of it, you can nicely explain it all by yourself to your friends! Good luck playing the One Piece card game.

What do we think of the One Piece Card Game?

It is a super nice game and the Anime is also definitely recommended to watch. Luffy and his friends have all kinds of fun adventures and it is enjoyable. The most fun, though, is to watch the Anime first and only then start collecting the One Piece cards. Because then you also know who is who and what characters you have. But, of course, it’s entirely up to you. Either way, it comes highly recommended. And the cards are already worth quite a bit of money, especially the special ones. Just for fun, search Ebay for One Piece and then set your filter to 1000+ euros, and then click sold listings. Then you see that the cards can make quite a bit of money.
